Reply to comment by DrBBQ in TIL that in 1554 Elizabeth Crofts hid in a wall on Aldersgate Street, where she pretended to be a heavenly voice. Reputedly 17,000 people came to listen to her give out anti-Catholic propaganda. by Kurma-the-Turtle

Went to her many times.

I have used that phrase more times than I can count when recording interviews of witnesses, summarizing investigations, drafting charges, etc.
